Orsonnette - Saint Laurent

03 Jan 2012 185
The village of Orsonnette just has a population of about 200 - and so the small romanesque church in the center is large enough. The door of "Saint Laurent" was wide open (!), but the interior of it was not spectacular, as it obviously got a reconstruction during the 19th century. The church still has some nice and pretty unweathered corbels. A corbel depicting the head of an ape or monkey. It shows all the critera these "ape-corbels" have: the flat forehead, the straight, small nose, the wrinkles around the open mouth..
